There is no guidance without A’immah
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 359
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ يَدِينُ بِدِينِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) إِلَّا نَحْنُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَ لَا هُدِيَ مَنْ هُدِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا بِنَا وَ لَا ضَلَّ مَنْ ضَلَّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا بِنَا.
359. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza who said: I heard Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام saying: ‘There is no one from this community who has made a Religion for himself with the Religion of Ibrahim عليه السلام except for us عليه الصلاة والسلام, and our عليه الصلاة والسلام Shites. And there is none who is upon the guidance who has been guided from this community except by us عليه الصلاة والسلام, nor has he strayed, the one who has strayed from this community, except due to (opposing) us عليه الصلاة والسلام’.
